He seemed annoyed off screen, but not that much. He goes up and praises her for her high score, which is obviously a ruse, but I didn't notice him that angry about it, at least in this first episode anyway.

On another note the animation team in this episode re-used stock animation of Cacturne from his debut episode in "A Cacturne for the Worse". Lazy, it was even the same appeal with Cacturne shooting bullet seed on the floor.

Jeez, it really is such a shame that the first episode of the Grand Festival had such crappy animation. Harley looked horribly off model in most of his scenes, it looked like this particular animation team wasn't sure how to draw him.

I loved this episode. It was totally awesome. Harley and Drew were there, which was cool. May actually taking advice from Harley again, I think she's just joshing him. It's a grade start-off for the next two episodes.

I still don't like Harley very much, but at least he was pretty funny in this episode. I liked how he teased May and Drew about their relationship, and May's reaction when he pointed things out. This was definitely a terrific episode for contestshipping, and a great Drew episode. Drew was even nice to May several times in the episode, I like that. I also liked James impersonating Norman again, that was pretty funny. I especially liked Harley's reaction when he saw "Norman" (and finding out later that Norman is May and Max's dad), and the Norman-themed motto. I also liked hearing all the references to past characters. I had to search my mind to remember what episode(s) everyone was from, especially Janet.

Overall, 8/10. I can't wait for the rest of the grand festival. Let's see if I watch it before next Friday this time.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can do that pikachusfan. Anyway I *slaps self with book* missed the *slaps self with book* episode!!!! *slaps self with book one hundred times* I just wanna kill myself for missing this episode! I want to see Harley to do something funny and gay like he always does on the show.

Very nice episode May's finally at the Grand Festival and doing well, to she's trusting Harley again. Interesting Team Rocket decided to impersonate Norman probably thought they'd never run into May. Also I noticed that Harley brought up May's and Drew's relationship, and it was funny to see May react to that. Hopefully May will win the competition.

I liked this episode overall. The Grand Festivals always excite me
Harley made me laugh throughout the episode, especially when he gets all fake-shocked and teases May. He's definitely one of the more interesting characters from this show, that's for sure....

And on a different note, the Silver Wind was decent. I'd give this episode 8.5/10.

This episode was ok... Harley had another scheme going in this episode... It was funny to see Jessie swallowed by Swalot. It was interesting that May was falling for Harley's scheme, especially when Drew even noticed that it was very suspicious.

this episode was awesome, and i think they made Harley steal the whole show. May's reaction was so funny when Harley was like, "I sense something romantic going on. I have to document this!" YES! HE'S A CONTESTSHIPPER!

Nice to see those call backs to past coordinators that the gang met in the past.
Also, fudge yes, Harley is back! and it looks like he's in the next couple episodes. I love this guy! (not in that way!)

I thought it was interesting that the GF staff checked May's ribbons when she arrived. Seeing James dressed as Norman again was neat, but Snorunt's Ice Beam gag started to get tiresome here. Anyway, seeing Ash and friends confront TR was neat and I laughed at Harley's nice act since I could tell that he was plotting something wicked knowing him.
